[RTTY] wae - packet?

[Jeff Stai]

hi Andy - there is no such link on the English version of the WAEDC FAQ, that I can see anyway. I 
looked at every English page I could find that seemed relevant. I am letting you know this in case 
you or someone in the organization might find it useful.

Thank you for the information on DX Clusters - hope to see you in the contest!
